“You’re not allowed to insult my mom.” Samuel suddenly roared l Carlos.
Tree from Vera’s embrace and charging straight at
Despite his small figure, he resembled an enraged lion, vigorously waving his tiny hands and feet, attempting to beat down Carlos.
Catherine had never seen Samuel like this, and she was frightened, crying loudly while curling up. “Don’t fight. I’m scared…
Catherine’s crying and Samuel’s anger suddenly brought Vera back to her senses.
dren were more important
Even if she felt heartache, she had to suppress the sad feeling. She was a mother, and for her, children than everything.
“Don’t cry. Catherine… Samuel, stop… Vera wished she could split herself in half, one half to comfort Catherine and the other to bring her son back

Namuel shook his head, slowly sitting up from the floor. It dood in anymore?
Raresion supported Samuel with one hand and hugged Vera with the other. “It’s just a light touch on his nose. Its not serious Don’t be scared.
Vera hugged Samuel tightly, tears streaming down her face.
She was wrong. She shouldn’t have brought the children to the Monroe family. Carlos had scolded Samuel before, even pinched his neck.
He must dislike this place, Vera thought.
Why did he only focus on fostering relationships among the three children and not consider these issues?
“Vivian, Samuel, I’m sorry for what happened just now”
Carlos, who was usually proud, never gave himself the chance to make mistakes, let alone apologize to anyone other than
Vera
But this tinte, he felt uneasy and forced himself to apologize, wanting to console Vivian and Samuel,
